After the New Mexico Classic, the Razorbacks will return home to host a talented field in the 2015 Tyson Invitational (Feb. 13-14) at the Randal Tyson Track Center.

After weeks of separate collegiate record chases around the country, the undisputed “match-up of the year” is finally happening this weekend. Collegiate record-holder Demi Payne of Stephen F. Austin will take on former collegiate record-holders Sandi Morris and Kaitlin Petrillose of Texas – who will all be shooting for the magical 4.76m mark.

That’s one centimeter better than Payne’s current 4.75m record, which she achieved in Albuquerque Convention Center two weekends ago. Morris’ season-best is 4.65m from last weekend, the best non-altitude performance in collegiate history.

Payne and Morris are both in excellent form, with both having taken very good attempts at 4.76m just last weekend and both combining for the top six marks in collegiate history over the past month. Petrillose, last year’s national champion with a then-collegiate record 4.60m, will look to get back on track and clear 14 feet for the first time this season.

Fayetteville, the “Track Capital of the World”, will be at the center of the track and field universe on the weekend of March 13-14 as the Razorbacks will host the 2015 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships at the Randal Tyson Track Center, the home of the “Fastest Indoor Track in the World”. Since the facility’s opening in 2000, Arkansas and the Randal Tyson Track Center have hosted the event 11 times, including nine straight seasons and 11 of the last 13 championships.

A two-day, all-session ticket to the NCAA Indoor Championships is $40 for reserved seating and $30 for general admission adult ticket.

Season tickets and NCAA all-session passes are available online at HERE, by contacting the Razorback Athletics Ticket Center via phone at (800) 982-HOGS or in person at the Razorback Athletics Ticket Center, located just east of Baum Stadium at 1295 S. Razorback Rd. in Fayetteville.
